U.K. Prime Minister, Boris Johnson Suffers Another Humiliating Defeat In The House of Commons

British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has yet again suffered a crushing defeat in the House of Commons. Boris Johnson has suffered another humiliating Commons defeat after his second bid for a snap general election was rejected by MPs.
